What kind of cookies?
Do the cookies have walnuts in them?
Are they freshly baked?
Are they buttery, made from scratch or are they from a dollupable package?
Do the brownies have walnuts in them?
Are they more cake-type brownies or fudge-like brownies?
Do they come with icing or not?
Are they still warm?
Can I have some milk?

It depends on the type of cookie. And the type of brownie. Still warm, slightly undercooked Ghirardelli double chocolate brownies are always a win. But if we're talking the icky cakelike brownies with the icing, then I have to go with cookies. Peanut butter cookies. Or sugar cookies with a little lemon zest baked in. Or ginger cookies. Just not chocolate chip. Blech. I really can't stand chocolate chip.

Cookies VS Brownies
If I am presented with a plate of cookies I like and a plate of brownies I like, I choose the cookies, because, assuming they're both in varieties of their base class that I like, I like cookies more.
Chocolate cookies versus chocolate brownies? Cookies win.
Chocolate chip cookies versus chocolate brownies with chocolate chips? Cookies win.
Chocolate chip cookies versus hot fudge brownie smothered in hot fudge and topped with two scoops of vanilla ice cream covered in hot fudge? Brownie-ice cream amalgam dessert wins.
Hot chocolate chip chocolate cookies covered in hot fudge and topped with two scoops of vanilla (or chocolate) ice cream covered in hot fudge? Versus the previous brownie desert? Cookie-ice cream amalgam dessert wins.
Great. Now I'm hungry.

Neither... molten-chocolate cake.

I vote for Alice B. Toklas Brownies!

A question deserving deep thought.
I am so down with a good brownie, but even given their variations, such as blondies, they're pretty much just one type of thing... a chewy dense pan cake. Cookies have a thousand varieties, so I'd have to vote cookies. As they said about me back when I kept the largest Harem in all the Middle East, Rone likes variety.
I'm far more likely to make brownies myself and buy cookies from a bakery, and so I probably consider brownies a more special fare in that I had something, though minor, to do wih their outcome. However, that only reveals that a fresh baked brownie is a my preference to what I can find in stores. When I buy cookies I like an assortment, and since I'm not going to litter my kitchen in an array of messy ingredients and soiled mixing bowls trying to make complex recipes for twenty different cookies, I trust the pros.
Wow, now I really know how I feel on the subject.
